My American Dream by Isabella Marez https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u The American Dream only applies to certain groups of people. en-us 2023-05-17 20:44:22 UTC 2023-05-23 05:27:55 UTC hello@padlet.com What is the American Dream? 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2595267702 The American dream is working hard for something that you really want to succeed and accomplish. Some things that could be an American Dream is, getting the career that you want, or setting a goal for yourself. However some of those things are hard to achieve, because the world is very judgmental and never truly accepts people for who they are. I do believe you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Anything is possible. As of today's "world", it is hard to make those dreams come true, while money plays a huge part in life and having a certain "resume" to accept people. Overall that is what the American Dream is to me. ]]> 2023-05-17 21:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2595267702 My American Dream 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2595298702 My American Dream is to own a house someday, and have a successful career. I also want to be a accomplished woman. But for that to happen i have to make mistakes, because in order to learn things you have to start from the bottom with obstacles. In order for me to accomplish things. Lastly i need to also make an effort for myself and work hard for what i want. I truly believe i can achieve my American Dream!]]> 2023-05-17 22:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2595298702 AD article 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2596528460 In the mice and men, they explain what American Dream they want to work up to. For example, "O.K. someday- we're gonna get the jack together and we're gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an' a cow and some pigs"(Chapter 1). Although, things do get in the way of reaching that American Dream. Kinda like, Lennie's mental disability and him killing Curley's wife. Those are the two major things that has ruined they're American Dream. ]]> 2023-05-18 16:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2596528460 Poem 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2596742243 In the poem it says "I am the darker brother, They send me to the kitchen to eat when company comes". This poem reflects off of my thesis claim that the american dream, does only apply to certain group of people, when they fill like they should. Sadly color plays a part in everything, when in reality, everyone is the same and needs to accept people for who they are. The poem also says "They'll see how beautiful i am, and be ashamed". That clearly shows that not everyone can be accepted or if they want that pacific career they have to work extra for it. ]]> 2023-05-18 20:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2596742243 Book Reference 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2597992550 In chapter 3, George and Lennie dream of having their own farm with rabbits. In the chapter, it explains how the American Dream only applies to certain group of people based on the issue they are having of achieving the American Dream. They explain how they don't have enough money to buy their own farm and how they have to save up for what they want. For example, Some things are just handed to people without hardwork put into it, or how some people were just born rich and never had to do anything in their life. That is my thesis on how, the American Dream only applies to a certain group of people. ]]> 2023-05-19 20:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2597992550 Interveiw 5812961 https://padlet.com/5812961/frhecmdsdjkjme4u/wish/2597992652 I interviewed my aunt, Based on all the questions I've asked her, i really got to know her, and her inner self, and her dreams and goals that she had wanted to accomplish happened. The first question i asked was what does the American Dream mean to you. "The Freedom to be who you are, to have the Power of your own Voice, your own mind, Body and will Power with the Freedom to Express it from the inside. To have the Right and Power to choose to use your own Educational Power to succeed in life, in love, and in all areas of life, as those who are not as privileged as we are living here in America are still equals in each and every way". I then asked what was her American Dream and She said "My American Dream Came True, now my new American Dream is to see you (Isabella Marez) reach your full potential, not to be afraid of fear, but to conquer it, to not let that be your guide, let your voice and your word be your truth, your power, find your inner peace and discover your true self and be one with you. I then asked her who influenced her american dream and she told me that he Grandfather and her Mother did, "They were my heroes who inspired and influenced me in all aspects of my life".  Lastly i asked her, what final piece of advice do you have for me regarding my dreams, she said "Don’t let fear be your guide. Follow your heart, and we will always be right here. If you fall down, seven times get right back up 9 or 10 times until you have accomplished your Dreams".
